Trump is constantly being targeted by the Leftist media. Their goal is to elevate Kamala Harris and destroy the former president.
And Donald Trump didn’t hold back in his scathing response to ABC News’ biased debate moderators.
Former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on his debate performance during an appearance on “Hannity” late Tuesday night, confidently stating that it was his “best debate ever.” He expressed satisfaction despite feeling outnumbered by the moderators.
“I thought it was really good. We had three against one, but I anticipated it,” Trump remarked, referring to ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who frequently fact-checked and pressed him on his responses.
One moment that stood out during the debate was a heated exchange between Trump and Davis on the issue of abortion. Davis questioned Trump about his stance on the subject, prompting him to claim that some states allow abortions as late as the ninth month of pregnancy.
“They even have, and you can look at the governor of West Virginia [Virginia], the previous governor… not the current governor, who is doing an excellent job, but the governor before, he said, ‘The baby will be born, and we will decide what to do with the baby,’ in other words, we’ll execute the baby. And that’s why I did that,” Trump said.
Davis was quick to try and correct him, responding, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to k*ll a baby after it’s born.”
But Davis’ attempted fact check was shot down by social media users online for it’s inaccuracy. SBA Pro-Life America posted on X, “FACT – CHECK: Babies born alive in failed abortions are real, and both Kamala Harris & Gov. Tim Walz refuse to protect them — including 8 babies in MN that died on Walz’s watch.”

Trump Answers Questions About Participating In Potential Second Debate
During the interview, host Sean Hannity also asked Trump about the possibility of a second debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in October, given that her campaign had reportedly expressed interest in another face-off. Fox News had extended a formal invitation to both candidates for a second debate.
“She wants it because she lost,” Trump claimed. “I don’t know. I have to think about it. But if you won the debate, I sort of think maybe I shouldn’t do it. Why should I do another debate? She immediately said we want another debate. That’s… you know what happens when you’re a prizefighter, and you lose? You immediately want a new fight.”
When Hannity pressed him further, asking, “Would you be inclined to say yes?” Trump responded, “Maybe if it was on a fair network, I would do that.”
In addition to weighing the potential for another debate, Trump criticized Harris for her debate approach.
“I always say I’ve been preparing all my life for these debates. You know, you can’t go in like she did, she goes into a room, and she memorized lines more or less,” he said.
The debate performances of both Trump and Harris drew a mix of reactions. While some praised Trump’s assertiveness, others, like Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume, were less impressed. Hume commented that the former president “had a bad night.”
“We heard so many of the old grievances that we’d long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically,” Hume remarked.
On the other hand, former Democratic congressman and “The Five” co-host Harold Ford, Jr. acknowledged that Harris could have provided more specific answers and offered clearer explanations of her shifting policy positions.
As the debate analysis continues to unfold, the possibility of a second round remains uncertain, with Trump leaving the door open but undecided.
